This paper provides the calculating of cooling load by using not only theoretical analysis and cooling load software E 20 for aesthetic clinic. According to the surveys and measurement, the materials used for this clinic are roof with steel sheet without insulation but with finished ceiling, 10 cm thickness single clear glass with interior curtain shades and wall with 10 cm common brick with 2.5 cm insulation are used. According to the theoretical analysis, the clinic required 124.53 KW while required 131 KW based on E 20 software. The values difference between theoretical analysis and E 20 software for this clinic is 5 .

The external loads consist of heat transfer by conduction
through the building walls, roof, floor, doors etc., heat
transfer by radiation through fenestration such as windows
and skylights. All these are sensible heat transfers. In
addition to these the external load also consists of heat
transfer due to infiltration, whichconsistsofbothsensible as
well as latent components. The heat transfer due to
ventilation is not a load on the building but a load on the
system. The various internal loads consist of sensible and
latent heat transfer due to occupants, products, processes
and appliances, sensible heat transfer due to lighting and
other equipment. In addition, heat gain from miscellaneous
sources includes supply fan heat load, duct heat gain, duct
leakage and diversity factors like usage and are applied to
the refrigeration capacity of large air-conditioning systems.
The grand total cooling loadconsistsofheattransferthrough
building envelope (external heat gains), heat generated by
occupants, equipment, lightning and ventilation (internal
heat gains) as well as and miscellaneous heat gains. [7]

2.2. The equations for cooling load calculation
The cooling load calculation withtheoretical analysismaybe
obtained from the following equations,
Solar Radiation through Glass
Radiation energy from the sun passes through transparent
materials such as glass which become a heat gain to the
room. Its value varies with time, orientation, shading and
storage effect. The net heat gain can be found from the
following equation.
Q = SHGF x A x SC x CLF
Conduction through Exterior Structure
The conduction heat gains through exterior roof, wall and
glass are each found from the following equation.
Q = U x A x CLTD
Conduction through Interior Structure
The heat that flows from interior unconditioned spaces to
the conditioned spaced through partitions, floor and ceiling
can be found with the following equation.
Q = U x A x TD
Corrected cooling load Temperature difference
The corrected cooling load temperature equation is
CLTD c = [(CLTD + LM) + (25 – TR) + (TA– 29)]
Lighting
The equation for determining heat gain from lighting is
Q = W x BF x CLF
People
The heat gain from people is composedoftwoparts,sensible
heat and latent heat resulting from perspiration.Someofthe
sensible and heat may be absorbed bytheheatstorage effect,
but not the latent heat. The equation for sensible and latent
heat gains from people are:
Q S = q s x n x CLF
Q L = q l x n
2.3. Design Assumptions
The amount of cooling load for the building are mostly
depends on the usage of building construction materials,
shading, orientation. Therefore, building materials is
important for cooling load calculation. When calculating the
cooling load, the outside temperature is based on the hourly
change of temperatures throughout the day. Desired inside
temperature (TR) is taken as 23 °C. The maximum people
capacity of this clinic is assumed as 10. The design materials
for the existing building is shown in Table 1.

III. METHODOLOGY
The methodology used in this study was calculating the
cooling load by using not only theoretical analysis and also
cooling load software (E-20) from carrier.
In first step, calculate the area of the aesthetic clinic byusing
auto-cad drawing software. In the next step, choose the
design month for the building from SHGF table based on the
latitude of Yangon (16.8508N) and facing direction of glass
and the correction of latitude and month applied to wall and
roof table. According to the latitude of Yangon, commonly
the maximum temperature occurring in Yangon is in
afternoon at April. And then, choose the desired inside
temperature (TR) is obtained from the ASHRAE standard is
taken as 23 °C for theoretical analysis and also outside
temperature of Yangon (TA) is derived on the hourlychange
of temperatures throughout the day. According to the
building specifications, read the factors from tabulated data
table like Shading Coefficient (SC), Cooling load factor(CLF),
Solar heat gain factor (SHGF), Cooling load temperature
different (CLTD), Thermal transmittance (U), etc. For the
cooling load stimulation with hourly analysis program, the
overall heat transfer coefficient for building construction
materials are taken from ASHRAE fundamental handbooks.
The outside temperature for E-20 software is also taken
hourly changes temperature provided by the software.

V. Cooling Load CalculationbyUsingE-20Software
(E-20) software is a computer tool which assist engineers in
designing HVAC systems for commercial buildings. E20
software is also known as the Hourly Analysis Program
(HAP), manufacture from the Carrier. In this paper version
4.9 of North American Edition is used.
The procedure of the hourly analysis program (E-20)
software is to set the weather conditions of the respective
regions. And then enter construction materials specification
like wall, window, roof and partition, overall heat transfer
coefficients. After that go to the enter space data like floor
area, ceiling height, building weightandspaceusageetc.And
set the building materials usage in detail like wall, window,
doors orientation, area, numbers of window and door, type
of roof, slope of roof, roof area and type of floor. And then,
enter system data like type of system, system components,
zone components, sizing data etc. and also define the
thermostat running hours. And finally go to the generate
simulation reports and then evaluate the result.
The input data of HAP program are the area ofthewall,floor,
window, roof, partition and the overall heat transfer
coefficient for construction materials, weather, space usage,
ceiling height, building weight, fixture types, lightening and
electrical equipment’s watt, number of people, location,
shading and orientation.
The output result are total coil load (sensible and latent coil
load), air system design load, generate peak cooling load in
tabular and graphical energy and loads reports of hourly,
daily, monthly and annual data, building energy modeling,
refrigerant piping design and schematic design.

VI. CONCLUSION AND DISSCUSSION
According to the theoretical analysis, the clinic required
124.53 KW while required 131 KW based on E-20 software.
